The Melrose Method
How We Help You Build Lasting Results
Most fitness programs fail because they push women to do too much, too fast, in a way that doesn’t fit their real lives. The Melrose Method was created to change that - a proven approach to strength training that’s supportive, structured, and designed to actually last.
✔ Strength-based, full-body training: Low-impact, high-results workouts to help you build real strength, resilience, and energy - in and out of the gym.
✔ Feel-good movement: Foster a positive relationship with fitness beyond just burning calories, without giving up the things you love. No endless cardio, no punishment, no drill-sergeant coaching.
✔ Programs that fit your life: Flexible options for in-studio and live virtual training - designed for real women with busy AF schedules.
✔ Expert coaching & accountability: You’ll work 1-on-1 with a trainer who guides you every step of the way, so you never feel lost or stuck.
✔ Results you can see and feel: 100+ 5-star reviews and hundreds of client success stories since 2019.
